Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a urn, and more particularly, to a vacuum urn having an air layer for storing ashes in a vacuum state without exposing it to moisture and preventing damage due to fire or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Traditionally, urns are made of materials such as stone, earth, ceramic (porcelain), wood and metal. FIG. 4 shows a conventional urn constituted by a body (main body) 20 and a lid 10. In order to preserve the ashes, the ashes are placed in the body 20 and then covered with the lid 10 and sealed tightly.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Stone, earth, porcelain or wooden urns are fragile and can scatter ashes if fired or accidentally impacted. On the other hand, metal urns are not easily destroyed, but are vulnerable to moisture. That is, since the metal material has a large thermal expansion coefficient, it expands and contracts due to a change in temperature, and as a result, the sealing becomes incomplete, and there is a possibility that molds may grow or burn on the ashes stored in the inside.

[0004]

[Purpose of the invention]

 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum urn that is robust and resistant to moisture and the like and has excellent preservation of ashes in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The vacuum urn of the present invention has a housing made of a hard and strong material, a base integrated with the housing to form an internal space, a body, a lid, and a vacuum valve. And a pot that is held in a vacuum state via a vacuum valve and is fixed to an internal space formed by the housing and the base.

[0006] Also, according to a preferred embodiment of the vacuum urn of the present invention, the vacuum valve further includes a vacuum valve lid that covers and seals the vacuum valve. Soft pads are mounted on the joints of the urn body and lid. The housing is made of metal material. An air insulating layer is formed between the urn, the housing, and the base. The urn is supported and fixed in the internal space by a support frame. On the outer surface of the housing, figures, characters or photographs are engraved. The base is formed in various shapes depending on the religion.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the structure and operation of a preferred embodiment of the vacuum urn according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the vacuum urn according to the present invention. The vacuum urn shown in FIG. 1 includes a housing 21, a base 22 and the urn 1. Here, the urn 1 includes a lid 11 and a body 12. According to a preferred embodiment of the vacuum urn according to the present invention, a vacuum valve 13 is attached to the lid 11. This vacuum valve is a well-known, one-way valve that allows air to flow in only one direction. For example, in a vacuum molding method using a vacuum valve, air is evacuated from a terminal point (end point) of the mold, the internal pressure is reduced, and the external air pressure generates pressure in the mold.

[0009] In this process, the air and air pressure in the mold are lower than in the conventional compression molding method, and the air drawn into the mold shrinks the pores of the material pressurized by the atmospheric pressure, thereby reducing the final pressure. The product has fewer pores and a more robust internal structure. Furthermore, vacuum molding has a shorter processing time than conventional compression molding methods. Moreover, because of the low air content, the oxidation of the surface of the final product is less and smoother.

The body 12 and the lid 11 are joined by bolting them together with screws (screw) provided at appropriate positions. After placing the ashes in the body 12, the lid 11 and the body 12 are securely joined and sealed. This sealing is performed by adding a soft pad to the joint portion of the body 12, attaching resin to the screw portion of the lid 11 and the thread of the body 12, and finally bolting both. This makes the seal between them both strong and secure. Thereafter, the air in the pot 1 is extracted from the body 12 through the vacuum valve 13 attached to the lid 11, and the inside of the pot 1 is evacuated. Here, the vacuum state does not necessarily mean a complete vacuum, but a state in which the pressure is sufficiently lower than the normal state.

As another embodiment of the present invention, a projecting joint is provided on the vacuum valve 13 of the lid 11 and a soft pad is attached. After the urn 1 is sealed and evacuated, it is covered with a vacuum valve lid 14, a resin is adhered to the joint on the projecting joint member of the vacuum valve 13 to seal it, and a soft pad ensures the seal. . In addition to this, a screw is provided on the vacuum valve 14 and both are securely bolted with a protruding joining member to ensure a vacuum state. As a result, even if the vacuum urn of the present invention is submerged in a high-humidity state or a flood, etc., there is no damp of the internal remains and no mold growth.

Next, an external protection mechanism of the urn 1 will be described. The vacuum urn housing 21 and the base 22 of the present invention protect the urn 1 itself. The housing 21 is made of a hard and strong material that allows a metal material. Further, the urn 1 is housed in an internal space formed after the housing 21 and the base 22 are integrated. Since this internal space is slightly larger than the outer shape of the urn 1, an insulating air layer 2 is formed between the urn 1 and the housing 21. This air insulation layer 2 shields the urn 1 from the effects of high temperatures when the urn is exposed to a high temperature environment. Two support frames (frames) 23 and 24 are arranged in the air insulating layer 2 between the housing 21 and the upper portion of the pot 1 and between the housing 21 and the base 22 to securely hold the pot 1 in the internal space. And act as a cushioning material against impact.

Further, to prevent or reduce heat conducted from the housing 21 to the pot 1, the support frames 23 and 24 are made of a material having a low thermal conductivity. Thereby, when this vacuum urn is exposed to high heat due to, for example, a fire or the like, the air insulation layer 2 and the support frames 23 and 24 make it difficult for electric heat to be electrically transmitted to the urn 1, and the urn 1 is broken or damaged. Eliminate the direct destruction of breaking the vacuum.

Next, reference is made to FIG. 2 and FIG. In this embodiment of the invention, two cross-shaped frames 23 and 24 are mounted on the top of the housing 21 and in the base 22, respectively. The shape of these two frames 23 and 24 correctly matches the top and bottom shape of the pot 1. The outer diameter of the dashed line in FIGS. 2 and 3 indicates that the urn 1 is arranged within this outer diameter and that the position of the urn 1 of the housing 21 and the base 22 is more securely fixed. . The design of the frames 23 and 24 ensures that the air insulating layer 2 exists between the pot 1 and the housing 21 on one side and between the pot 1 and the base 22 on the other side. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the frames 23 and 24 are made of a material having low thermal conductivity and good shock absorption, for example wood, metal, asbestos, earth or porcelain. As a result, the urn 1 of the vacuum urn according to the present invention is protected even if it is exposed to high temperatures or subjected to a strong impact.

In addition, the exterior of the housing 21 can be easily decorated with a sculpture design or a photograph using the latest engraving techniques. Further, depending on the religion, the base 22 may not be in the desired style. In Buddhist tradition, the base 22 may be a lotus position. In Christianity, the base 22 or the housing 21 may be provided with a cross or other Christian decorative symbol. In Islam, the text of the Koran Bible may be inscribed on the surface of the housing 21. These decorations enhance the aesthetics of the vacuum urn of the present invention and contribute to the comfort of the bereaved. Furthermore, an appropriate identification tag is provided on the urn 1 so that the tag of the urn 1 can perform an identification function in the event of a catastrophic event that the housing 21 is destroyed.

The configuration and operation of the preferred embodiment of the vacuum urn according to the present invention have been described above. However, such embodiments are merely examples of the present invention and do not limit the present invention in any way. It will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
